What Are the 4 Components of a Torque Converter?

Industrial Torque Converter Parts

Today, torque converters are used in many different industries, including automotive, construction, and more. These units are commonly used to provide torque amplification during a machine’s startup. They allow a machine’s engine to spin independently of a transmission.

So, what happens when you experience issues with your torque converter? There are 4 separate components that you’ll want to check in industrial torque converter repair.

4 Components Required in Industrial Torque Converter Repair

Industrial torque converter repair is no easy feat. That said, consulting a professional is highly recommended to ensure that your torque converter is properly fixed. However, it’s important to know what is inside your torque converter to diagnose any potential issue.

Here are the four primary components worth looking at in industrial torque converter repair.

1. Pump

One of the first components to investigate during industrial torque converter repair is the unit’s pump. Torque converters use a type of centrifugal pump. These pumps are designed to move fluid in a rotational pattern. Fluid enters through the center of the unit, thanks to a vacuum generated by the pump, then moves toward the outside of the unit, where it is expelled.

2. Turbine

The fluid expelled from the pump of the torque converter enters the blades of the turbine. The turbine is connected to the unit’s transmission and causes the transmission to spin, allowing your machine to move.

3. Stator

The stator is the piece of the unit that redirects the fluid returning from the turbine towards the pump. This process dramatically increases the efficiency of the torque converter, making the stator an important component to investigate during any industrial torque converter repair.

4. Transmission Fluid

The fluid that flows throughout the torque converter is known as the transmission fluid. This fluid lubricates the different components of a torque converter for optimal performance. During industrial torque converter repair, you should make sure the level of your machine’s transmission fluid isn’t running low. Should you experience any slips while running your transmission, that may indicate that your transmission fluid needs to be changed.
